Winnertzia hamatula
sp. nov.
Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013
: fig. 47E (depicting the
holotype
designated here)
Diagnosis.
This medium-sized, brown
Winnertzia
with long antennae and wings was previously subsumed under
W. tridens
, a species with largely similar male morphology. Among the species close to
W. tridens
,
W. hamatula
is distinguished by the aedeagal apodeme whose apical processes are much smaller, and the long gonostylus whose outline resembles a slightly bent club, i.e. the base is conspicuously slender and the apex broadly rounded (
Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013
: fig. 47E). Females and preimaginal stages of
W. hamatula
remain unrecognized.
Other male characters.
Body size
1.6–1.7 mm
.
Head.
Eye bridge 3–4 ommatidia long dorsally. Antenna as long as body. Scape slightly larger than pedicel, both yellowish, lighter than flagellum. 12 flagellomeres, flagellomeres 1–10 with translucent sensilla. Fourth flagellomere: neck 1.1 times as long as node; node twice as long as broad; sensory hairs numerous; translucent sensilla filiform to slightly broadened, lateral sensillum transversely aligned, variously bent to U-shaped, medial sensillum longitudinally aligned. Palpus slightly longer than head height, 4 setae-bearing segments; apical segment longest of all. Labella fully developed.
Thorax.
Pronotal setae 15–18. Anepimeral setae absent. Lateral mediotergal microtrichia large. Parascutellar area bright, vaguely contoured.
Wing
slightly longer than body, 2.4 times as long as broad. Costal cell reinforced. Both M
4
and CuA gently bent, extending to edge of wing.
Legs
with both pointed and blunt-ended scales. Basitarsal spines absent. Fore tibia 0.9 times as long as T
2
. Acropods: claws slightly bent, basal tooth large; empodia vestigial.
Abdomen.
Pleural membrane setose.
Genitalia
(
Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013
: fig. 47E). Ninth tergite considerably shorter than gonocoxae; setae largely confined to posterior and lateral portions; anterior edge distinct; posterior edge broadly rounded to slightly concave. Gonocoxal synsclerite broader than long; ventral emargination broadly U-shaped, sclerotized basally; ventroanterior edge distinct, straight; dorsoposterior portions protruding markedly beyond ventroposterior portions; dorsal apodemes long and thin. Basolateral apophysis of gonostylus fairly large, very slightly angulated. Solid basal portion of aedeagal apodeme long. Tegmen faintly contoured; flaps small, indistinct; parameral apodemes long, directed ventrolaterad.
Etymology.
The name is a Latin adjective meaning ̒with small hooks’, which refers to the outline of the aedeagal apodeme found in this species.

Distribution and phenology.
All our specimens were collected in June–August in both broadleaf and coniferous forests in the southern half of
Sweden
(
Skåne
to Uppland).
